A grade 8.

8 fastener can be manufactured from any material whose mechanical


properties meet or exceed the requirements set forth in the relevant harmonised standards.
The two-digit nomenclature is not used to describe individual steel grades and only
applies to metric fasteners defined under ISO 965 (as well as derived standards)
The designation system is based on two numbers e.g 8.8 . The first number is
the tensile strength of the bolt material (N/mm2 )/100. The second number is = 1/100.
(the ratio of the Proof (or Yield ) stress and the Tensile strength expressed as a
percentage = 100.[Yield (Proof stress) /Tensile strength] /100 meaning that a grade 8.8
bolt has a nominal ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 800N/mm2 (or Mpa) and a nominal
yield strength of 640N/mm2 (or Mpa).
the actual steel grade used by manufacturers may vary but in most cases, a grade
8.8 fastener (self-colour, black-oxide or zinc plated) will be manufactured from a
medium-alloy medium carbon steel, typically with 0.30 - 0.50 % Carbon and alloyed with
other elements such as Molybdenum, Vanadium, Manganese and sometimes Boron or
Cobalt in small quantities. These alloying elements provide the required mechanical
properties to reach the minimum strength set forth by the harmonised standards.
The lowest grade is 4.6, commonly known as commercial grade. Next
comes grade 8.8, known as structural grade, and finally, the highest grade is
12.9, known as high tensile bolts. The first number represents the ultimate tensile
strength of the bolt, 400 MPa, 800 MPa or 1200 MPa respectively. The second
number represents the point at which the bolt will permanently stretch. (Officially,
the 0.2% proof load stress). A 4.6 bolt permanently stretches at 60% of its
ultimate, an 8.8 at 80% and a 12.9 at 90 %.
